He was responsive, gave me a fair quote via text and showed up on time (if not a bit early). Once he arrived, he jumped right into it and tackled my list quickly and easily. The major work was two new pet screens for sliders, a new bathroom faucet and a dimmer switch in the kitchen. I added a handful of tasks and he took them on without complaining. He has lots of 'tips and secrets' that make him indispensable. I'd recommend (and will) Randy to friends and neighbors and will definitely call on him again.

After my first job with Mike I was super happy with him. However, I used him again and this time I…read morewas so displeased. It was not funny. We hired Mike to remove a bar and to fix the ceiling after a leak. He charged us $150 to remove the bar. He then told us that he would charge us $300 to put the bar back in place and fix the ceiling. We had told them at that time that we would be using wall paneling to repair the ceiling. We had wall paneling on the ceiling at that time in another spot. When it came time to do the repair Mike showed up on the first day but lost his keys in his car and spent the entire day trying to get his keys out of the car rather than calling a service to do it for him. So he blew the entire day. On Wednesday I don't know what time he showed up because I had an appointment but when I got home at noon he promptly left and didn't show back up and until late afternoon and only stayed for an hour. After which he had a allowed argument with his wife over speakerphone about missing Valentine's Day dinner. He then left my house and returned late afternoon the next day after I made several calls to him trying to figure out where he was after. He stated he would be there the next morning. Very little communication. This type of behavior went on for days. When the job was complete, Mike tried to charge us over $1,600 for putting the bar back in and repairing the ceiling. I might add that the ceiling portion was 3x 20 ft Wall paneling and then he had to put the bar back in spot which was in two pieces. At this point he had severely damaged many pieces of the bar and the assembly around it. He had also left pencil marks on the ceiling which for some reason he thought was acceptable. Mike is not a licensed contractor but actually a handyman. This whole ordeal spent over a course of 4 days. Something that should probably have taken place in one day. At the end my husband and I ended up completing the job ourselves because Mike didn't show up on the final day except to pick up his tools when I told him we finished the job ourselves. For the pictures you see below, he actually wanted $848. After completing the job he then told me that his price was $125 an hour and said that he had worked over 15 hours which he can't even account for because he was so spotty in showing up and not showing up and he would come and go and take off for his wife, his children or to go shopping or to eat or who knows what or are even for other clients in the middle of working for me. To me, this now meant he was changing the original price that he had given me from $300 to something more. I do not recommend this company or this person to anyone and I've included pictures of his shoddy work. I should also mention that Mike wanted to decide what materials to use in my house and when I said no he was very upset. I had to go down and explain to him that he does not get to decide what materials are used in other people's house. I told him I was using wall panels and a specific one and he said he wanted to use a certain type of product and spray paint it. When I said no he was very upset and said that his idea was a good idea and that the people buying my house would have liked his idea. I am an interior designer and I'm very good at what I do. My house sold in one week in this very bad market. Obviously I know what I'm doing. I'm also going to include a letter that Mike sent me that was extremely rude regarding his displeasure about using the materials he wanted.

I hate leaving bad reviews, but I have no choice here. We are a Rental Property management company…read morethat hired Ethan (EC Projects) for a bath remodel. It was quoted at ~$8k and after beginning the job that increased to ~$9k with an approved change order, which was fine. I would say the job began OK and Ethan did a fair job on the demo and framing. His detail work however was sloppy, leaving bad scratches all over the new tub. He tried to cover them but only made it worse. The tub will have to be reglazed to fix it. Moreover he or his sub installed the diverted incorrectly and we got a bid for $1340 to fix that. Really the worst part has been his unreliability and broken promises. Our tenant has given up so much time to be stood up, delayed, etc. We finally had no choice but to end the contract, and unfortunately we were nice enough to pay almost all of the contract in advance after he asked if we could help him to pay his guys. We are left holding the bag, which is our fault for paying him in advance when the job wasn't close to being done. I would run from this guy.

We'd had a termite infestation in our home that damaged a main support beam and many of the struts…read morein the house's frame, and we needed a contractor to repair it. Ethan with EC Projects was the first to respond and the reviews were good, so we went with them. They got the damaged struts and beam replaced, and new drywall and insulation put up. The first issue occurred when the spackle was applied. The guy doing the spackling left spackle handprints all over the bannister and woodwork around the work area, as well as on the carpet. I let Ethan know and they did clean most of it up except for a few spots. This wasn't a big deal since the spackle comes up easily with water. The next issue came up with the paint. Ethan cut a small square out of the wall to take in to get a color match. He assured me the team would fill it in and repaint the spot. This was not done. I pointed it out to the workers when the project was finished and they would not do it. Again, I let it go, since it was small and in an unobtrusive spot. The paint they put up did match the color, but was a satin finish, instead of the semigloss that is on the rest of the interior. I didn't bother pointing this out, since I wanted the project to be done and it wasn't that noticeable. The workers had also taken down the curtain brackets when they replaced the drywall and painted. These were the brackets that held up the curtain rod and the hook on the wall that held open the curtains on the side. They would not put these back up after they had finished painting. I had to do that myself. Next issue was for the wooden support post for the railing around the work area. This was attached inside the wall before the project started, and it had to be detached in order replace that part of the frame. It did not seem that it was re-attached the same way, because two large screws and an empty screw hole were drilled into the outside of the post. I pointed this out to workers and they just said it was something they had to do. Next was a piece of trim they removed during painting, and replaced with a new piece of trim. The workers did not bother to match the stain with the existing trim, and it was stained much darker than the rest of the trim in the house, and there was a big handprint in it. The workers would not fix this either. There were also some areas where paint was spilled over onto the trim, and some chips taken out of the trim. Again, I did not bother pointing this out because it was small and the trim had some existing damage anyway. Cracks also formed in the ceiling in one area where they replaced the frame. Now the small stuff was adding up. During the beam and frame replacement, the workers, drilled several screw holes, or removed nails, in the exterior siding, and they did not fill them in again. I only discovered these after they left, so I did not have a chance to bring it up with the workers. A day or two after the workers left, on 7/21, Ethan came by to pick up the extra drywall and insulation that wasn't needed, so I showed him the only two remaining items I wanted fixed, which were the holes in the siding and the misstained trim. I was willing to let everything else go if they could fix these two items. Ethan agreed those should be fixed and assured me they would do it. He said he would get back to me on when they would come back out. Two days later, I still had not heard from anyone, so I followed up with Ethan. It was Wednesday, 7/23, and he replied that they would come out that Friday, the 25th. When Friday came, Ethan texted me saying it would rain all day, and they would be out th e following week. That Monday, he texted me saying they would be out on Tuesday. But on Tuesday he texted me saying the workers were struggling in the heat. (They were due at 4:30 in the afternoon and the siding is on the shaded side of the house. The trim, of course, is indoors in the air conditioning.) He said he would come out the next day, but on Wednesday he texted me again saying it wasn't dry enough and it was supposed to rain again. He was due at 4:30 pm and my forecast said the rain wasn't supposed to start until 7:30 pm, but he said he would come out on the following Friday, 8/1. Again I agreed and emphasized I wanted the project to be done soon. (It did not rain that day.) Friday came and I did not hear from him. So I texted him again asking what happened and he said he had a family emergency and couldn't make it out, and asked me what time he should show up, but by this time I was done, and I told him to forget it, I would do it myself. Ethan apologized and said he wouldn't reschedule again, but I was tired of dealing with it by this time, ten days had now passed since I showed Ethan the damage, and I could have had it done by then if I had just done it myself in the first place. Ethan seemed sincere, but overall I cannot recommend EC Projects.
